I. GSA Mileage Rate Reduced to 44.5 Cents Per Mile
- According to the Federal Register dated January 6, 2006, the General
Services Administration (GSA) of the Federal Government is reducing the
reimbursement rate from 48.5 cents to 44.5 cents per mile for use of
privately owned automobiles when authorized as advantageous to the
Government.
II. IMPACT ON STATE MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT RATES
-
The GSA rate is used as the mileage reimbursement rate for many State of
Connecticut collective bargaining units. The "mileage reimbursement
rate" under many State collective bargaining unit agreements is subject
to adjustment within 30 days of revision to the Federal GSA rate.
-
- In accordance with General Notice 2006-01 from the Office of Labor
Relations, the mileage reimbursement rate reduction is effective for travel
on or after January 31, 2006 for employees using personally owned vehicles
for official State business.
-
-
The decreased rate applies to non-represented employees and the following
collective bargaining units: NP-2, NP-3, NP-4, NP-5, NP-6, NP-7, NP-8, P-1,
P-2, P-3A, P-3B, P-4 and P-5.
-
- The above provisions also apply to Managerial and Confidential employees
and all other executive branch employees who are exempt from the classified
service or not included in any prevailing bargaining unit contract, except
unclassified of any board of trustees of the constituent units of higher
education.
-
-
Managerial employees governed by the Boards of Higher Education are
notified by their respective boards.
